Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Develop a complete CFG for a simple programming language that allows basic arithmetic expressions. Derive the string (2 + 3) * (4 - 1) and create its parse tree.
💡 Hint: Focus on breaking the expression down into terms and operations.
Analyze why parse trees are important for syntax checking in compiler design. Provide examples of scenarios where derivation errors could affect program execution.
💡 Hint: Think about how structure relates to error detection in code.
